Ustyle Laboratory Co., Ltd. (Headquarters: Nakano-ku, Tokyo; CEO: Ken Ohata), a provider of home care services for patients with severe disabilities and intractable diseases such as ALS, announced that as of May 2026, the total hours of severe home-visit care services provided to ALS patients has reached 4,415,127 hours, with a cumulative total of 720,053 service instances, supporting 1,098 ALS patients.

As the largest operator of severe home-visit care services, we have expanded our operations nationwide since 2014 and currently operate approximately 110 business locations, including franchises.

Three Key Features of Ustyle Care's Severe Home-Visit Care

1. All Care Staff Capable of Medical Care All of our 4,600+ care staff in the severe home-visit care division are trained to perform sputum suction and tube feeding, enabling 24-hour monitoring and care including medical procedures. We operate our own schools, 'Ustyle College,' across 45 locations nationwide to train personnel with the necessary professional knowledge and skills.

2. Service Provision Across the Nation We provide severe home-visit care services at 112 locations across 42 prefectures (as of May 2026), serving over 5,500 users.

3. Largest Service Record for ALS Patients in Japan Since starting the service in 2014, we have supported approximately 1,100 ALS patients. For those who have difficulty speaking due to ventilators or other factors, we use communication boards and PC eye-tracking devices to communicate individually with each person. We also support them in enjoying travel and sports through accompanying assistance.

＜Addressing the 'Shortage of Specialized Talent'＞

Through our operation of 'Ustyle College,' over 3,000 people complete our training programs annually. In addition to the integrated course for severe home-visit care workers, we also provide the first-grade training for sputum suction, fostering highly skilled medical care personnel.
